Tall & Statuesque? Broad & Muscular? Buy both Sunday!

Submitted By: ketzel.levine@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Come Sunday, when the doors open to shop for manzanitas at the Hoffman Center’s Manzanita Plant Sale (11AM!) , a little knowledge will go a long, long way.

Tall & statuesque? Broad & muscular? Big, medium, or groundcover? Let size and shape be your guide.

We’ll be selling a fantastic assortment of manzanitas, THIRTEEN different kinds. Insane! You’ll want to be sure from the get you’ve got the right plant in the right place ’cause these kids don’t like to be moved around.

Got a shady garden? Don’t buy a manzanita. Got overhead irrigation? Ditto. Soil super rich with amendments? Nope. Not gotta thrive.

But if you’ve got at least 6 hrs of sun in fast-draining soil without irrigation or fertilizer, manzanitas are your kind of plants.

Tomorrow on the BBQ: Meet A Few Manzanitas!

Sculptural Weaving with Bark at the Hoffman Center in Manzanita!!

Submitted By: visualarts@hoffmanarts.org – Click to email about this post
On May 5, 2024, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, join May Gallery artist Rose Covert, in a sculptural weaving class. Participants will use beginning basketry techniques including plaiting and twining to start their weave and then will explore using random weave to create a small woven form. Random weave is a freeform weaving style that allows for creative freedom resulting in a unique and interesting design.

Using hand-harvested and locally grown barks to weave into the basketry reed, this workshop will focus on the fundamentals of natural materials and mixed media fiber sculpture. We will learn about the harvesting and processing of the plants so that students will leave with information about gathering what grows near them to use in future projects.

This class is appropriate for all skill levels, no prior weaving experience is necessary. This class is also great for those who have experience with weaving and are looking to increase their weaving vocabulary.

Participants will leave with a woven sculpture that will be unique in size, shape and composition.

Tuition is $145 and includes all materials. Full or partial scholarships are available!

For more information and registration: visit the Hoffman Center for the Arts Website: Hoffmanarts.org

Here are some examples of the fun registrations we see AND FIX!
Reclining Chair – Spring has sprung.
Heater – Light turns on but nothing happens.
Boom Box – Belt to play cassette tapes needs to be installed but I can’t figure out where it goes. I took the old one out without taking pictures.
Toaster – Only one side toasts.
Vacuum – Suction is mostly gone.

Surplus Native Plant Sale April 13

Submitted By: diana@tbnep.org – Click to email about this post
Native Plant Sale this weekend!

Come peruse our remaining inventory at the nursery in Tillamook on Saturday, April 13th. We have evergreen huckle berry, cascara, red-osier dogwood, sitka spruce and more remaining!

The plants at our facility are cultivated from seeds hand-harvested locally along Oregon’s North Coast. This makes them uniquely adapted to thrive in our coastal ecosystems. Native plants play a critical role in restoring habitats to create cleaner water and better habitat for fish, birds, pollinators, and people. Check out our new website page for details.

For the last decade, nursery staff and volunteers have used a temporary porta-john as their only bathroom. Funds from this sale will get us closer to building a hygienic, sustainable, universally accessible bathroom that is more accommodating of the many body types, ability levels, and genders that are welcome at the nursey.

As a “Surplus Plant Sale” all inventory is limited and typically sells at a rapid pace!
